So an alliance that is ok with cheating, can go half terran half xan fi, not tag up yet, have the xan fi hit the Terrans, lose a few pods, tag up and be set for the full round with a Fi attack strat.
This is true for Fi but also for most other classes. You've set up your set so each race can steal useful ships, which is all nice and good, but also so that they need to steal pods to make that class an attack class. Which is why this set is different from most other sets and why its such a cheat friendly set.

And I just don't understand why you want to take this risk and don't just add the third pods for each race.
Then you can still steal useful ships with your own stealship , but stealing pods wont be vital to using a certain shipclass for attacking.

It's not a risk imo. You have yours, I have mine. My set will stay as is.
